Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1. Nature of Business
Wake Forest Bancshares, Inc. (the Company) is located in Wake Forest, North Carolina and is the
parent stock holding company of Wake Forest Federal Savings and Loan Association (the Association
or Wake Forest Federal), its only subsidiary. The Company conducts no business other than
holding all of the stock in the Association, investing dividends received from the Association,
repurchasing its common stock from time to time, and distributing dividends on its common stock to
its shareholders. The Associations principal activities consist of obtaining deposits and
providing mortgage credit to customers in its primary market area, the counties of Wake and
Franklin, North Carolina. The Companys and the Associations primary regulator is the Office of
Thrift Supervision (OTS) and its deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
(FDIC).
Note 2. Organizational Structure
The Company is majority owned by the Wake Forest Bancorp, M.H.C., (the MHC) a mutual holding
company. Members of the MHC consist of depositors and certain borrowers of the Association, who
have the sole authority to elect the board of directors of the MHC for as long as it remains in
mutual form. Initially, the MHCs principal assets consisted of 635,000 shares of the
Associations common stock (now converted to the Companys common stock) and $100,000 in cash
received from the Association as initial capital. Prior to 2003 (see Note 4), the MHC received its
proportional share of dividends declared and paid by the Association (now the Company), and such
funds are invested in deposits with the Association. The MHC, which by law must own in excess of
50% of the stock of the Company, currently has an ownership interest of 54.9% of the Company. The
mutual holding company is registered as a savings and loan holding company and is subject to
regulation, examination, and supervision by the OTS.
The Company was formed on May 7, 1999 solely for the purpose of becoming a savings and loan holding
company and had no prior operating history. The formation of the Company had no impact on the
operations of the Association or the MHC. The Association continues to operate at the same
location and is subject to all the rights, obligations and liabilities of the Association which
existed immediately prior to the formation of the Company. The Board of Directors of the
Association capitalized the Company with $100,000. Future capitalization of the Company will
depend upon dividends declared by the Association based on future earnings, or the raising of
additional capital by the Company through a future issuance of securities, debt or by other means.
The Board of Directors of the Company has no present plans or intentions with respect to any future
issuance of securities or debt at this time.
Note 3. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements (except for the consolidated statement
of financial condition at September 30, 2007, which is derived from audited consolidated financial
statements) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America for interim financial information and Regulation S-B. Accordingly, they
do not include all of the information required by accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments (none of which were other than normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair
presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented have
been included. The results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2008
are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for the Companys
fiscal year ending September 30, 2008. The accounting policies followed are as set forth in Note 1
of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Companys September 30, 2007 Annual Report
to Stockholders.
Note 4. Dividends Declared
On June 16, 2008, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a dividend of $0.20 a share for
stockholders of record as of June 30, 2008 and payable on July 10, 2008. The dividends declared
were accrued and reported as dividends payable in the June 30, 2008 Consolidated Statement of
Financial Condition. Wake Forest Bancorp, Inc., the mutual holding company, waived the receipt of
the dividend declared by the Company this quarter.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Note 5. Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share amounts are based on the weighted average shares of common stock
outstanding. Diluted earnings per share assumes the conversion, exercise or issuance of all
potential common stock instruments such as options, warrants and convertible securities, unless the
effect is to reduce a loss or increase earnings per share. This presentation has been adopted for
all periods presented. There were no adjustments required to net income for any period in the
computation of diluted earnings per share. The reconciliation of weighted average shares
outstanding for the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and nine
month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 is presented below.
Note 6. New Accounting Standard
In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income
Taxes (FIN No. 48). FIN No. 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes
recognized in an enterprises financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for
Income Taxes. FIN No. 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement approach for the
financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in
a tax return. FIN No. 48 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and
penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition issues.
FIN No. 48 establishes a two-step process for evaluation of tax positions. The first step is
recognition, under which the enterprise determines whether it is more likely than not that a tax
position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or
litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. The enterprise is required to
presume the position will be examined by the appropriate taxing authority that has full knowledge
of all relevant information. The second step is measurement, under which a tax position that meets
the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is measured to determine the amount of benefit to
recognize in the financial statements. The tax position is measured at the largest amount of
benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The
cumulative effect of adopting FIN No. 48 is required to be reported as an adjustment to the opening
balance of retained earnings (or other appropriate components of equity) for that fiscal year. FIN
No. 48 is effective for the Companys current fiscal year and its adoption had no impact on
Companys consolidated financial statements.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Note 7. Future Reporting Requirements
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, which enhances existing guidance
for measuring assets and liabilities using fair value. SFAS No. 157 provides a single definition
of fair value, together with a framework for measuring it, and requires additional disclosures
about the use of fair value to measure assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 157 emphasizes that fair
value is a market-based measurement and establishes a fair value hierarchy with the highest
priority being quoted market prices in active markets. While SFAS No. 157 does not add any new
fair value measurements, it may change certain current practices. SFAS No. 157 is effective for
financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and for interim
periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will
have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159 The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and
Financial Liabilities. SFAS No. 159 provides an option to measure eligible financial instruments at
fair value at specified election dates. Unrealized gains and losses on specific financial assets
and liabilities that are designated to be carried at fair value will be recognized in earnings
thereafter. The fair value option may be applied instrument by instrument, is irrevocable and may
only be applied to entire instruments, not to portions of instruments. The provisions of SFAS No.
159 are effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company does not
currently plan to adopt SFAS No. 159.
The Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) reached a consensus at its September 2006 meeting regarding
EITF 06-4, Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Endorsement
Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements. EITF 06-4 requires the recognition of a liability and
related compensation costs for endorsement split-dollar life insurance policies that provide a
benefit to an employee that extends to postretirement periods. The Company has policies that fall
within the scope of EITF 06-4. EITF 06-4 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2007 and can be applied by either a change in accounting principle through a
cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the year of adoption or a
change in accounting principle through a retrospective application to all prior periods. The
Company is currently evaluating the impact of EITF 06-4 on its consolidated financial statements.

Forward Looking Statements
Information set forth below contains various forward-looking statements within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, which statements represent the Companys judgment concerning the future
and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause the Companys actual operating
results to differ materially. Such forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of
forward-looking terminology, such as may, will, expect, anticipate, estimate,
believe, or continue, or the negative thereof or other variations thereof or comparable
terminology. The Company cautions that such forward-looking statements are further qualified
by important factors that could cause the Companys actual operating results to differ
materially from those in the forward-looking statements, as well as the factors set forth in
the Companys periodic reports and other filings with the SEC.
Comparison of Financial Condition at September 30, 2007 and June 30, 2008
Total assets increased by $898,750 to $108.3 million at June 30, 2008 from $107.4 million at
September 30, 2007. The increase in total assets during the nine month period ended June 30, 2008
was funded primarily from an increase in deposits of $730,800 and cash generated from internal
operating activities during the same period. Due to adequate levels of current liquidity, deposits
were priced to meet competition and retain certain accounts but not to aggressively attract
additional funds. The Company attempts to maintain a certain level of liquidity to fund loan growth
and to provide a cushion for its construction loan commitments. During the nine months ended June
30, 2008, cash and short term cash investments decreased by approximately $1.2 million.
Net loans receivable increased by approximately $2.7 million to $78.9 million at June 30, 2008 from
$76.2 million at September 30, 2007. The increase during the current nine month period occurred
primarily due to a $2.0 million increase in the Companys commercial real estate portfolio but
substantially all loan categories experienced some level of growth with the exception of the
Companys land loan portfolio which declined by approximately $647,000 during the period. The
increase in the Companys commercial real estate portfolio occurred because of two large loan
originations that closed during March 2008 and which were secured by a couple of industrial
warehouses located in the area. The residential market in the Companys primary lending area
remains sluggish when compared to the same periods a year earlier and both re-sales and newly
constructed homes remain on the market for longer periods of time. New home starts are
considerably less during the current nine month period when compared to the same time period a year
ago. The Companys local real estate market experienced significant growth over the last five
years, primarily due to an influx of newcomers from outside the area. Although the Companys
markets have not experienced a drop in home prices like many areas of the country, local real
estate markets are impacted by newcomers unable to purchase homes here until they are able to sell
residences elsewhere.
In addition, questions about the strength of the economy combined with tighter credit
standards associated with the sub-prime fall-out have slowed the residential real estate markets
significantly both locally and nationwide. Population growth and employment expansion across a wide
spectrum of the local economic base combined with moderate interest rate levels will ultimately
determine whether loan demand can be revived. Assuming local economic conditions improve,
management believes that the long-term fundamentals of its lending markets provide potential for
future loan growth. However, there can be no assurances that such loan demand can or will
materialize in the near future.
Investment securities decreased by $332,350 to $1,858,950 at June 30, 2008 from $2,191,300 at
September 30, 2007. The decrease is attributable to a $347,450 unrealized loss in the Companys
investment in FHLMC stock offset by $11,300 increase in unrealized appreciation in the Companys
bond portfolio during the past nine months and a required $3,800 purchase of FHLB stock during the
same period. The Company has held its FHLMC investment for many years and considers it to be a
long term investment. The Company has very little cost basis in the stock and retains an
approximately $125,750 unrealized gain in the stock at June 30, 2008. The FHLMC stock has
declined during the last nine months due to the issues surrounding sub-prime lending and the market
for mortgage-backed securities. The Company also has an investment of $1.5 million in FHLB bonds.

Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Comparison of Financial Condition at September 30, 2007 and June 30, 2008 (Continued)
The Company generally maintains higher levels of short term liquidity in order to minimize interest
rate risk, to fund construction loan commitments, and due to the relatively minor differential in
current investment rates available on extended maturities. As a result, the Company has not been
actively involved in the buying and selling securities but has been purchasing FDIC insured bank
certificates of deposit generally with maturities up to one year to protect against downward
interest rate risk. The Companys portfolio of bank certificates of deposit amounted to $13.4
million at June 30, 2008. These bank certificates of deposit investments are typically acquired at
interest rates of 1.00% to 1.50% higher than most debt securities currently available for terms
much longer than a year.
The Company had no borrowings outstanding during the period because its current level of liquidity
was sufficient to fund lending and other cash commitments. The Company has recorded a liability of
$390,950 at June 30, 2008 for the ESOP put option which represents the potential liability owed to
participants based on the current market value of the Companys stock if all participants were to
request the balance of their account from the Company in cash instead of stock.
The Company has an ongoing stock repurchase program authorizing management to repurchase shares of
its outstanding common stock. The repurchases are made through registered broker-dealers from
shareholders in open market purchases at the discretion of management. The Company intends to hold
the shares repurchased as treasury shares, and may utilize such shares to fund stock benefit plans
or for any other general corporate purposes permitted by applicable law. At June 30, 2008 the
Company had repurchased 96,320 shares of its common stock. The program continues until completed
or terminated by the Board of Directors.
Retained earnings increased by $643,850 to $16.2 million at June 30, 2008 from $15.5 million at
September 30, 2007. The increase is primarily attributable to the Companys earnings of $883,500
during the nine month period ended June 30, 2008, reduced by $314,250 in dividends declared during
the period and a $74,600 recovery of prior charges to retained earnings to reflect the change in
the fair value of the ESOP shares subject to the put option. At June 30, 2008 the Companys
capital amounted to $20.6 million, which as a percentage of total assets was 19.00%. The Company
and the Association are both required to meet certain capital requirements as established by the
OTS. At June 30, 2008, all capital requirements were met.
Asset Quality
The Companys level of non-performing loans, consisting of loans past due 90 days or more, amounted
to $616,300 or 0.77% as a percentage of loans outstanding at June 30, 2008. Non-performing loans
amounted to $595,650 or 0.77% as a percentage of loans outstanding at September 30, 2007. At June
30, 2008, non-performing loans consisted of one uncompleted spec residential construction loan
amounting to $294,950, one single family loan totaling $133,600, and one home equity loan amounting
to $187,750. The residential single family loan and the home equity loan are to the same borrower
and secured by the same property. Foreclosure proceedings have commenced on all of the
non-performing loans outstanding at June 30, 2008. Only the residential construction loans cost
basis is considered to be in excess of its fair market value and the Company has allocated
sufficient loss reserves to cover the deficiency at June 30, 2008. All of the loans have been
placed on non-accrual status.
Non-performing assets also includes real estate acquired through foreclosure. At June 30, 2008,
foreclosed real estate included one residential building lot ($26,500) and three former residential
construction loans on partially completed single family properties ($456,750). The three partially
completed single family homes were transferred to foreclosed assets after having incurred a
combined $86,800 in loan charge-offs and the Company believes that no further write downs are
necessarily in order to dispose of the properties. One of the single family properties is
currently under contract and is scheduled to be sold in July 2008. The foreclosed highway 98
commercial tract ($1,003,800) that the Company had held for several years was sold during the
current quarter at approximately its cost basis.
